I've been so excited for this blog hop, and I even managed to tie it into my A to Z post for the day. X is for Kisses and Hugs and who better to do that with than our leading men, oh yeah.

So the rules are, I am to post a picture of my male hero and interview him. That's it. I decided to go with Lucas Wiley, the arrogant football quarterback with a shady past. He likes to surf, play guitar and sing, and does nothing to hide his affinity for Kami, my introverted MC who is required to tutor him their senior year. They are from my YA Contemporary UNFOLD ME (takes place in Hawaii) which is shoved to the side at the moment, but since Lucas is probably my favoritest male character I've ever written, I couldn't resist using him for this blog hop. And btw, Kami will be conducting this interview.

*A football player who surfs too? Can you imagine my excitement when I found this picture? I'm pretty sure he's holding a rugby ball, not a football, but still. Add some orangey bleached tips to his black hair, and this is my perfect Lucas.

On to the interview:

Kami: How would you describe yourself in one word?

Lucas: Smokin'

Kami: As in a cigarette?

Lucas: No babe, as in feast in the eye-candy, smokin' hot. But you said I only had one word. (slides hand through his hair)

Kami: (Sighs) How would you describe me?

Lucas: Hot. Mysterious. Stubborn. Smart. And totally in love with me, though you'd never admit it.

Kami: (squirming in her seat) Do you believe in love at first sight?

Lucas: Only from the moment I first saw you. I'm sure the feeling is mutual. (wink)

Kami: (rolls eyes) What's your idea of the perfect date?

Lucas: You and me, winter formal. Agree to go with me and you won't regret it.

Kami: I don't dance.

Lucas: We don't have to dance.

Kami: I don't think so.

Lucas: You know I won't stop bugging you until you say yes.

Kami: (tenses as she realizes this is probably true)

Lucas: That's right, you know you can't resist.

Kami: (Sighs) Fine.

Lucas: (Grins) Here's the thing, it's a girls choice dance, so I'm gonna have to hear the words. So go ahead, beg me, I mean ask me, to go with you to the dance.

Kami: (Gawks) In your dreams.

Lucas: That's how I like it.

Kami: You're such a pig!

Lucas: (Oinks)

Kami: Back to this stupid interview. How would your friends describe you in one word?

Lucas: Awesomesauce.

Kami: What's your favorite pastime?

Lucas: Football.

Kami: I thought it was cutting hair. (Fingers her recently cropped hair)

Lucas: You promised you wouldn't tell anyone about that.

Kami: What's the matter, worried what your football buddies would think about your hairdressing skills?

Lol, what a great choice for X. Yesterday when I read the book, I thought that there are many books about a girl having a crush on the hot boy at school, so it's so so to find an agent for the book. But the dialouge and the personality of Lucas and Kami will carry the novel. I like it. The setting in Hawaii is great. I wonder if there is a literary agent based in Hawaii. The cover is beautiful and will catch the people walking in a book store.

I love the interaction between the two of them. Totally my type of book and Lucas is my type of character, there is obviously more to him than his conceited comments and good looks. I want to know more about his hair dressing skills.
